“Janine has a gift — the ability to take on the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and challenges in the Middle East with a direct, clear-eyed and balanced approach.  She also a depth of understanding on the issues, making her an excellent moderator with both nuance and flair.”

“Janine is an extremely skilled interviewer. Her questions drew out the most interesting and important information from our panelists. The audience was attentive throughout the program because Janine kept the conversation moving and relevant.”

“Janine Zacharia gave a Morning Forum audience of several hundred an unflinching observation of the turmoil and exceedingly difficult challenges of the Middle East. Ms. Zacharia speaks with candor and clarity. Forum members left with a deeper understanding and a roadmap helping them make sense of issues that are so much a part of the current world.”

“With authority, wit and insight, Janine traced root causes of conflicts as they have evolved before, during and after current regional uprisings and laid out options for the future. Janine’s presentation was among the best offered to the public during my ten years as Chairperson of the Mid-Peninsula World Affairs Council Chapter.”

“We were thrilled with Janine’s moderation of a J Street event in San Francisco in October 2011 that featured former Israeli Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon. Janine’s participation elevated the program to a particularly exciting and energizing level. We also appreciated how she went with the flow and played moderator during the Q&A. She did it so naturally and expertly.”
